malachite
| Cracked Paint | Distressing | ||
| A glaze is applied between a base and topcoat to give a cracked finish. As the glaze shrinks, the topcoat cracks so that the base coat can be seen. |  |
This effect is created by painting a base colour followed by a contrasting colour on top. This is 'removed' to create a worn look and exposing the base colour. |  |
| Dragging |
Rag-rolling | ||
| This effect is best used on furniture and internal woodwork, often in combination with ragging. |  |
This lovely finish is effective on any wall in the house - it can look like luxury wallpaper, but made to order. |  |
| Sponging |
Stencil |
||
| This gives a cloudy soft feel to any room, using at least 3 colours applied with natural sponge. |  |
Stencils can be hand-prepared based on client's images or selected from stock. |  |
| Marbling | |||
| Scumble based paints are used with a 'goose' feather to create the veins found in marble. The veins are next softened with a specialised brush. | malachite
